Increased dietary salt intake is a well-established risk factor for hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases, involving complex vascular remodeling processes. However, the specific role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in vascular pathophysiology under high-salt conditions remains poorly understood. This study investigates the role of HIF-1α in high-salt-induced vascular remodeling using human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HA-VSMCs) cultured in vitro.

The aim of this study was to explore biological interaction and pathophysiology mechanisms in a new mouse model of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, induced by chronic moderate renal failure in combination with consumption of a customized Western diet rich in carbohydrates, fat and salt. Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to unilateral nephrectomy, fed a customized Western diet rich not only in sugar and fat but also in salt, and followed for 12 weeks or 20 weeks. Sham-operated mice on a standard chow served as healthy controls.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of high compared to normal dietary salt intake on fetoplacental vascular function, activity of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), placental pro- and anti-angiogenic factors and biomarkers of placental remodeling and oxidative stress during healthy uncomplicated pregnancy.

Materials And Methods: Based on their 24-h sodium excretion pregnant women (37-40 weeks' gestation) were categorized into three groups: normal salt (NS, <5.75 g/day, N = 12), high salt (HS, 5.

Introduction: The combination of a high fructose and high salt diet typical of western diet induces high blood pressure, aortic stiffening, left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and impaired renal function in rodents. Despite an activated renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in rats fed high fructose and high salt, acute inhibition of the RAS pathway does not improve cardiac and vascular parameters. It may well be that longer term treatment is required to permit remodeling and improve cardiovascular function.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases the risk of developing pulmonary hypertension (PH), but the exact mechanisms behind this connection are not well understood and there is no reliable animal model for research.
  • This study successfully created a stable rat model of CKD-PH by performing 5/6 nephrectomy combined with a high-salt diet, followed by dynamic evaluations of hemodynamics and pathological changes in various organs.
  • Results indicated that CKD-PH rats exhibited significant pulmonary arterial hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy, dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), decreased ACE2 expression in the lung endothelium, and distinct serum metabolic profiles compared to control rats.
